Carter Abrams is a long, rangy athlete who still looks like he’s just scratching the surface of his physical development. Listed at 5’3, 115 pounds, he already plays bigger than his measurables suggest, showing flashes of length and athletic upside that project well moving forward.
One of the most impressive aspects of Carter’s profile is his dedication to development. His page documents his journey through consistent workout content, showing clear progression from earlier sessions to his most recent work. The growth is noticeable—he’s becoming more coordinated, more explosive, and more confident in his movements.
On the field, Carter shows promising versatility at both wide receiver and linebacker. At WR, he demonstrates the ability to attack the football at its highest point, using his length to make plays above defenders. Defensively, he flashes strong instincts by stepping into passing lanes and creating turnover opportunities.
The main area for evaluation moving forward is his performance in full-contact situations. His page features plenty of training and flag footage, but limited tackle film, which leaves some questions about his physicality and consistency in live game action.
That said, Carter is only a 6th grader with plenty of time to grow into his frame. His current coordination and athletic flashes suggest that a growth spurt could significantly elevate his game. With his work ethic and trajectory, his ceiling remains high.

Big Auggie didn’t come to play games—he came to make sure everyone remembered his name.
August Jordan of the Oak Grove Pirates arrived at the event already on our radar. Over the past year he’s made a massive jump, growing from 5’1”, 175 lbs to 5’5”, 213 lbs, and his film showed a young lineman who absolutely thrives in the trenches. We were excited to finally see him in person—and he did not disappoint.
The best attribute of Auggie, also known as “IHOP,” is his love for trench warfare. He takes just as much pride in pancaking defensive linemen as he does punishing ball carriers on defense. During game play, one word described his performance: ACTIVE.
On defense, Auggie consistently created quarterback pressure, showed the ability to shed blockers, and finished plays in the backfield with multiple tackles for loss. His motor stayed running all game.
On the offensive side of the ball, he embraced the physicality of the line—opening holes in the run game and overpowering defenders at the point of attack.
Game Stats
•2 Pancakes
•Several QB Hurries
•3 Tackles for Loss
His dominant performance earned him the Trenchmen Academy Trench MVP, solidifying his place as one of the top two-way trench athletes in the nation.

Dayzon Evans is a dependable, well-rounded playmaker whose game is built on efficiency, vision, and instincts. Operating with advanced patience in the backfield, he allows blocks to develop naturally before making sharp, decisive cuts—consistently uncovering running lanes others overlook.
At the second level, his controlled footwork and timing make him a problem in space, creating missed tackles and extending plays. He has enough burst to win the edge against linebackers and adds another layer to his game as a receiving threat out of the backfield, making him a true multi-dimensional weapon.
We evaluated Dayzon in person at the D1Nation x RNR Top 100 Combine in Arizona this past January. His performance earned a 3-star rating, but his game film showcased a higher ceiling. ultimately earning a 3.5 star.
Strengths
• High-level vision and decision-making in the run game
• Consistent production regardless of size
• Versatility across offense and special teams
• Proven ability to compete in all-star environments vs top talent
Development Focus
• Continue adding size and strength to enhance durability
• Increase exposure against top-tier weekly competition
Projection
Dayzon tracks as a versatile offensive weapon capable of impacting the game in multiple phases. As his physical development catches up with his natural instincts and field awareness, his ceiling continues to rise.

Apollo Neloms

Apollo Neloms is a talented young dual-threat QB from the Heir Academy 9U squad out of Washington. We first got the opportunity to see him at the D1xRNR National Combine, where he put together an impressive performance. Apollo ran a 6.06 40-yard dash, posted a 5.56 shuttle, and recorded a 79-inch broad jump—strong numbers for a quarterback in the 9U division.
During positional work and 1v1s, Apollo showed the ability to deliver several pinpoint passes, impressing our scouts with both his arm talent and mechanics. He had already earned his invite to the Super Showcase prior to the combine, but his performance only confirmed why he deserved to be there.
At the showcase, we got to see Apollo begin to gel with teammates from across the country during practice, showing good leadership and command for a young quarterback. In the scrimmage, he delivered several well-placed passes that unfortunately resulted in drops, but his accuracy and ball placement were still evident on tape. The same trend continued during the game action, where flashes of his ability to place the football stood out.
One area we’d like to see Apollo continue to develop is game management and patience in the passing game. At times he looked to win the game with the deep ball, targeting downfield shots frequently. As he continues to develop, working the short and intermediate passing game will naturally open up those deep opportunities.
With his current skill set, competitive drive, and natural talent, Apollo Neloms has a lot of upside and is definitely a young QB to keep an eye on in the coming years.
Izhon Pugh
⭐ Stars: 4
🎓 Class: 2030
📏 Height: 6’2
⚖️ Weight: 185 lbs
🏈 Division: HS
🏫 Team: Westlake
📍 State: California
🎯 Position: OLB / WR

Izhon Pugh, also known as “Tugg,” is a specimen out of California who already possesses a prototypical build for an incoming freshman. Standing 6’2 and 185 pounds in the Class of 2030, he has the type of frame that coaches love to get their hands on early and develop but his potential to be one of California’s Premier prospects is scary.
After studying his film, it’s clear this young man is a playmaker in the making. On offense, Pugh is dangerous on double moves and displays an impressive catch radius, allowing quarterbacks to simply put the ball in the air and trust him to make a play. Once the ball is in his hands, he becomes an immediate downfield threat who can do serious damage in open space.
What stands out most is how well he moves for a player with his size. He accelerates quickly, covers ground effortlessly, and has the agility to make defenders miss. His ability to generate yards after the catch (YAC) makes him a constant threat every time he touches the football.
Before diving into the film, Pugh was already sitting comfortably as a four-star prospect. But after reviewing his dominance, size, and playmaking ability more closely, he’s starting to push the envelope toward a 4.5-star caliber talent.
The only question mark right now is the level of competition. Some of the opponents around him don’t quite match the national-level talent we typically see at the top tier. However, his size, athleticism, and upside make him an intriguing prospect regardless of the environment.
Recently, Pugh committed to Westlake High School, where he is expected to contribute on both sides of the ball at wide receiver and linebacker. With his physical tools and natural playmaking ability, he has the potential to make an immediate impact at the high school level.
👀 Keep an eye on Izhon Pugh as he looks to develop into one of California’s next rising prospects.
